we wonder that they can devote
their day and rights To- fastening
upon the state an amendment which
they acknowledge will not lessen the
wills Of whisky drinking or reduce
the .um of human misery, which all
are laboriug - lessen. Or. Carroll
himself say they do not aim or hope
20 stop whisky drinking, that men
may drink Us much a. they please
only not in saloon. Thi- provision
catches many voter but it handles
very few reai temperance people. It
is to be feared that there are too
many JUGS behind the doors of the
loyal prohibitioni9ts
HERE is the way Uncle Ben Baker
Of the Columbus Citizen sums up the
matter:
In his speech at BelIyille, Hon. W.
is lloman said the object OF the pro-
hilton amendment was not to prevent
the drinking Of Intoxicating liquors,
hut to do away with The saloons. He
thus acknow.rd that prohibition
joes not prohibit, and the state loses
the -alo ou revenue without stopping
tho drinking.
TnE Marlin Ball raps out its disap-
probation of be amendment in the
following brief but eloquent words:
The Bal l. opposed to prohibition
because it is ill-advi,cd, imprac ticablc,
aud CONTRARY to the principles IF free
government. The amendment that
the people of Texas are asked TO vote
TOR is % fraud on its face, dclusion
aud snare.
THE women OF Texas will pause

the church or their own homes to

lot boxes of the state
ArroRNEY GENERAL loGG is a
very strong writer on the subject OF
prohibition and the evils to grow out
of the adoption OF the amendment.
lie submits some figures which are
absolutely ,tartling in the presence of
the undisputrl fact that prohibition
does not prohibit.
THE excessive good humor of the

dlge- ton and possible appreciation
of the good things Ut this life, encour-

As Nat q was not on the train that
was robbed the other night the press
Of Texas lost nothing to speak OF,
Had Nat been there with his roll, the
disaster would have been tar greater
than il was.
THE question Of prohibition will
not be re-opencj in Texas in many
years. Prohibition will bc showed
under IN August Tho snow storm is
now brewing.
GEORGE MORRIS knows who the
real leader OF The prob bition hosts is,
lie does not shoot nj mall game, but
reaches up Tor the tallest of the patri-
OTIS.
CRANFlLL will not have the leader
ship. With him il is inaIicnabe and

the cold water army.
DIR. CARROLL should shove back
and let the real head OF the poitica

queer situations. That letter from
